Quarkonium transport in weakly and strongly coupled plasmas
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
We report on progress in the nonperturbative understanding of quarkonium dynamics inside a thermal plasma. The time evolution of small-size quarkonium is governed by two-point corr…
Ultracentral heavy ion collisions, transverse momentum and the equation of state
Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee
Ultracentral heavy ion collisions due to their exceptionally large multiplicity probe an interesting regime of quark-gluon plasma where the size is (mostly) fixed and fluctuations…
Generalized Gluon Distribution for Quarkonium Dynamics in Strongly Coupled Yang-Mills Theory
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
We study the generalized gluon distribution that governs the dynamics of quarkonium inside a non-Abelian thermal plasma characterizing its dissociation and recombination rates. Thi…
Quarkonium transport in strongly coupled plasmas
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Suppression of open heavy flavors and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions is among the most informative probes of the quark-gluon plasma. Interpreting the full wealth of data obtaine…
Hard probes in isobar collisions as a probe of the neutron skin
Wilke van der Schee, Yen-Jie Lee, Govert Nijs +1
We present an estimate of the yield of hard probes expected for collisions of the isobars Ru and Zr at collision energies reachable at RHIC and the LHC\@. T…
Determination of the neutron skin of Pb from ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee
Emergent bulk properties of matter governed by the strong nuclear force give rise to physical phenomena across vastly different scales, ranging from the shape of atomic nuclei to t…
A generalized hydrodynamizing initial stage for Heavy Ion Collisions
Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee
We present an extended Bayesian analysis using Trajectum where the initial condition can now include binary scaling. For the far-from-equilibrium evolution before hydrodynamics we…
Chromoelectric field correlator for quarkonium transport in the strongly coupled Yang-Mills plasma from AdS/CFT
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Previous studies have shown that a gauge-invariant correlation function of two chromoelectric fields connected by a straight timelike adjoint Wilson line encodes crucial informatio…
The Present and Future of QCD
P. Achenbach, D. Adhikari, A. Afanasev +400
This White Paper presents the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the Hot and Cold QCD Town Meeting that took place September 23-25, 2022 at MIT, as part of the Nuclea…
